Hi everyone, this is Friday's update, there won't be another later, i'm just posting it a little earlier as I have a lot to do today. I will be writing The Lycan Princess and the Temptation of Sin once I am home.
ZIAHRA. Itās been two hours since I snapped his neck, but he is still unmoving. His heart hasnāt beat, and he is simply lying there lifeless. What did I do? Fuck, I killed him! My heart is thundering as I cradle his head in my lap. Weāre still in his motel room, a place that can be broken into without a hitch. But thereās no way I can move him anywhere safer or more secure. The Dark Crow may still be around and if they are⦠God, I donāt want to think of it. He has got to be strong enough to fight this! Come on Kash! Through my panicked state, I had somehow managed to tell Blade I wasnāt going to be on lookout with him as I had things to do, but I just hope he bought it. He has asked twice when Iāll be coming but I am unable to reply. He knew I was with Kash⦠but I canāt deny that either. I know I need to go out there, but I canāt, not until I know Kash will be ok. He has to be⦠I touch my mark, tracing my finger over the mark he has left on me. I can feel it becoming one
ZIAHRA. I killed him! My heartbeat rings in my ears, my entire body freezing up as I realise what I have just done. Bladeās body drops to the ground, and I jump back. A shaky gasp leaves me as I stare at the dead body of one of my closest comrades. Memories of the past ring through my head, and I grip my head as I stare at the blood that now spreads across the laminate flooring. āIāll always have your back Zia⦠Yeah? Iāll always have yours too⦠if anyone tries to turn on you, Iāll have your back⦠Oh sure, Iāll try to never turn my back on anyoneā¦ā I killed him⦠I fall to my knees beside the two bodies, feeling as if everything is going wrong. What have I done? Fuck! I close my eyes, taking a few steadying breaths. āYou've got this Ziahra.ā I tell myself. Breathe in⦠breathe out⦠I've got this⦠A sharp gasp and the sudden thumping of a heart makes my head snap up. My heart leaps when I see Kashās eyes fly open, blazing red as he jolts upright. His fangs are out as he scan
KASH. Iām behind her within a split second and we both leave the motel. I make sure to shut the door behind us as I rush after her. We donāt need someone seeing that body or blood right now, that will only add to everything that is already going on. Her heart is pounding violently as I try to ask her what happened. āWhat happened?!ā I ask again. āGray! He tried to connect with me!ā Somethingās happened⦠She keeps running. Weāre on the road now and I have no fucking clue as to where sheās going. But itās clear she knows. āHe! One of the princes!ā She isnāt making sense but before I can ask her, she suddenly stops, as she stares at the ground. I look down, the smell of blood reaching my nose, and then I see it. The trails of blood cover the stone ground. What the fuckā¦. I try to mind link Zerachiel, but Iām met with a block. The same goes for Ragnar and Jeremiah which leaves me one option. Adonis. Taking a deep breath, I mind link Adonis. āCheck on Zerachiel and Evelyn rig
EVANGELINE. Nothingness wraps around me like a cloak. Thereās no feeling of anything here. Itās not cold, warm, or windy. Everything is just⦠still. Thereās no light, and even with our vision, I cannot see anything. This place is indeed empty. I tighten my hold on Zedkielās hand as we walk through the emptiness, side by side. The only sound that I can hear is the Eternal Godās footsteps ahead of us and our heartbeats. My aura is radiating off me, but it is just swallowed up by this place. Almost as if we could scream, but it would not travel. āKind of extreme, to put her in a place like this for simply falling in love.ā Zedkiel remarks. āShe broke a divine law.ā His cold reply comes. Zedkiel is about to reply, but I give his hand a gentle squeeze, and he frowns. āHeās arrogant, and he grates on my nerves.ā āHe is a God. Perhaps the power has gone to his head.ā I tease lightly. Zedkiel smirks but says nothing for a few seconds before he kisses me. āWell, if you let that god s
ZEDKIEL. Itās like Iāve just been catapulted through the air and then hit the ground hard. The breath is knocked from me and for a moment, I feel boxed in. I stagger and I feel Zerachielās confusion as heās thrown to the back of my mind, as I regain control of my body. āYouāre back.ā He says, sounding far more shocked than I would have expected. āYeah, what did you think? That weāll be stuck there forever?ā I reply, looking around, we are in a forest, one Iām not sure exactly where it is⦠āWhere the hell are we?ā I ask him, as I look down, my clothes are dirty and heās clearly not showered. Seriously, does he not know personal hygiene? āIn the forest not far from the crypts⦠actually⦠I was trying to think of a plan.ā I frown. Why the hell is he alone? āWhat plan and where are the rest?ā He sighs and I can feel his conflict. āRagnar betrayed us, and Ziahra, well, to control the damage done⦠She told us to leave and that sheāll make up a story for Vadam. However, I know sheāl
ZEDKIEL. We had travelled fast, and we had arrived at the borders of the location that Ziahra had told us about before we left for the other realm. The location where Vadam Exodus is at. We had the small phone that Adonis had passed on, although it had no credit to make any call. I was hoping Kash would call soon once Adonis passed the message on. It was two nights later and the night we were breaking in⦠We are a good distance from the dark, cold mansion that is surrounded by spiked gates, and despite the silence, I know there are vampires moving around. I can see them at times, dressed all in black as they scan the surroundings, each one armed. I had managed to steal three slim swords earlier, giving one to Evangeline, although she wasnāt much of a fighter and keeping the other two for myself. āI need Kash to callā¦ā I mutter, looking up at the moon, which was half-hidden by the clouds. The skies were dark and cloudy and only at certain moments could you see the moon peeking
EVANGELINE. I watch as Zed enters with a bang, introducing himself. Itās not the time to have such thoughts, but there was something incredibly sexy about that⦠My heart is pounding as several vampires surround him. Iām ready to assist if need be and I know he is powerful enough too, but still, Iām on edge. The vampires stare at him, clearly taking it with mixed reactions. There are those who are shocked, others hostile and some who are hesitant. āTo Vadam Exodus, now.ā Zed snarls, his power radiates off him and I glance towards the mansion entrance. The vampires seem to converse with one another before they motion to the door and Zedkiel walks confidently to the entrance. I donāt like being apart from him but thereās not much I can actually do but wait for his signal that Vadam is with him before I move. āHow long will you wait?ā Evelyn asks after a while. āFor his signal.ā I reply, trying not to let my worry show. Sheās been silent since Iāve returned to my body. Neither of
ZEDKIEL. The man before me is nothing like how I pictured. He has brown hair with a few stray grey strands. He has bright blue hooded eyes, and heās wearing a suit. Thereās no emotion from him. I canāt tell if heās angry or not. Iām not sure if my appearance has shaken him or not. Itās almost as if heās bored or tired and doesnāt want to have to deal with me. Heās not even surprised or pretending not to be, anyway. āYou wanted me, right? Iām here.ā I state coldly, my eyes burning red. His gaze dips to the swords in my hands, but he says nothing. āYes, but I did think you were already dead⦠that is what Ziahra declared. Lies are punishable by death.ā He sneers. āOh yeah? Well, you donāt seem surprised to see me⦠you knew I wasnāt dead, as for who will be punished. Iāll be the one deciding that.ā I remark coldly. I keep my eyes on him, but Iām aware of how many vampires are surrounding me. He may not give a signal openly to them as he has the link to them, and thatās even more re

There is at least two more books to come in this series. The first will be Evelyn's, we just need the right Alpha to sweep her off her feet and shower her with the l
EVANGELINE. ONE YEAR LATER⦠āOh myā¦āI say, unable to stop myself from biting my lip as I look over at my sexy naked man who has tossed aside the towel he has just dried his body with and now approaches the bed entirely naked. āIf I wasnāt already pregnant, I might just end up pregnant tonight.ā He sits down on the bed, a cocky smirk on his face. āI wouldnāt mind practising the art.ā He says, as he pulls me on top of him. Iām halfway through my pregnancy and weāve been told weāre having a boy. Learning about the pregnancy was bittersweet. I was happy, yet it brought back the memory of the child that was taken from us. A child I had not been able to see when I had gone to the realm, despite the ability to cross once a year, I was confined to the Palace of Moonlight. I nurture the tree of bonds before I then must return to earth. Raziel and Selene are trying to get Eshe to bring my child to the palace, but there has been no reply to any of their messages. āI wouldnāt mind that,ā I
EVANGELINE. A FEW WEEKS LATER... āThank you, your majesty.ā Someone says as I steady them from tripping over their own feet. Weāve officially hosted the coronation ball for both the Vampire King and his Queen and the Alpha Queen and her Alpha King. A combined coronation and one that showed the beginning of unity between the two species. The night had gone well, and both sides had been cordial enough. It had taken place at the Moon Stone Pack, but we have begun building a castle, halfway between both territories which will be used for state affairs. Now, I think Iām ready to turn in for the night. I have talked to many and danced the night away. I gather up the white net skirt to my glittering dress as I step out into the warm night. āAlpha Queen Evangeline.ā I turn to see Sinclair leaning against a pillar, alone. Heās dressed in a tux, hands in his pocket as he approaches me. āAlpha Sinclair.ā I say formally. I noticed there was no sight of Celia tonight. I guess she wouldnāt w
ZEDKIEL. A week has passed since the trials and Kash and Ziahra have left. Apparently, they are going to take things easy but as far as I can tell, they are constantly making out. So irritating and disgusting to see. Jason had told Kash he is in no rush to stand down and I think that is something Kash appreciated. Although Ziahra had made it clear, she did not want him to follow her when she left, he told her heāll accompany her and only be staying a day or so before he returns home. They may act like they have this love and hate thing going on, but I have seen she has marked him back, which says enough. I still need time to get used to the two of them being together. I know heās trying to find Isa, but I told him he may just lead Godric to her if he tries to find her. You've got to think smart and play smarter. Last night Evangeline told me that Evelyn is leaving today, she has avoided me a lot since she has returned with her own body. It's a shame, considering I feel that we ha
ZIAHRA. Iāve been here for long enough, Momās ashes have been laid to rest and the trials are done. Zedkiel has a lot to do, but Evangeline needs him, so I offered to go and handle the things that can be done on his behalf. We own several lands between the vampire territory and the Moon Stone Pack, and a new home will be built where Zedkiel can handle official business, but ultimately until itās done he will have to travel back and forth for a while. I donāt want to go⦠but I have to. Mom was killed by Zedās Lycan, and although Evangeline had apologised for it, I donāt blame her, this wasnāt her fault, however, I need some time to mourn. Iām ready to take some time to accept her death. I had fought so hard for the last few years to save her, and then⦠in the end, she died. Just like that⦠It only takes moments for death to take us⦠no matter the length of our life span, our loved ones can still be taken in a matter of minutes. No one is invincible. But leaving meant⦠Kash⦠The
CHASYN. Night has fallen and Iām sitting on the balcony in one of the guest rooms. I have been residing here ever since everything that happened recently, unable to go to the quarters where I had spent time with Maryka. When I found her and realised she was my mate, I had been tempted to reject her, because of her link to the Night Shade pack as well, although I had no qualm with it, after all, mother was from there, but in truth, I did not want to give up on another⦠someone I had fallen deeply in love with. But it was never an option I was allowed to even consider. Fated mates were rare and to find mine and consider rejecting them would have been frowned upon and so I had taken her as my own, made her my Luna, marked her, and married her. But I know she didnāt like my Omegas, and I couldnāt blame her. Any man or woman would feel jealousy if their mates were with other people. Although by then, there had only been one I was addicted to but I had stopped being intimate with her to
ZEDKIEL. The day of the final few trials has arrived and those with the heaviest crimes will stand to hear their judgement today. The last few days have weighed heavily on Evangeline. It has taken longer as more people than we initially assumed had ended up playing a part in the crimes committed against the Pack and Kingdom. Some were stripped of rank, others exiled, and some were imprisoned. However, today Danciana, Maryka, Draven, Drystan, and a few of the council members will have their crimes publicly stated, and given the correct punishments that they deserve. Maryka⦠She had been the one to kill our father. Ragnar had been ready to kill her himself but had to be restrained. It had shaken Chasyn to the core. Yes, it had been glaringly obvious that she did play a huge part but the extent of her part in all of this was huge. She had been planning it with the traitors of the Night Shade Pack for months, and when she had figured out Jeremiahās plan after Chasyn had refused to fi
EVANGELINE. Zedkiel is at the kingās grave, and I have decided to go visit Lucia who is still in hospital. Although she is much better, due to how badly she had been injured, the doctors want to keep an extra eye on the babyās health and with it being common knowledge that itās Chasynās the risk to her health is greater. I was paid respect by everyone I pass; I have easily become recognised as the Queen, but rumour has also travelled that I am a goddess. I do not feel like one when I canāt even save my own child. Every night, I pray and plead for our child to be returned to us, but there is never an answer and I know I will not get one either. I slow down as I reach Luciaās room. Sheās been moved into a private room by herself, and I now knock on the door and enter after she gives me permission. āHeyā¦ā I say softly as I enter, slowly closing the door behind myself and walk over to the bed. āHello, Evangeline.ā She says smiling, she looks better today. Her bruises are all healed,
ZEDKIEL. A cool wind blows past me as I stare down at the tomb before me with a heavy heart. The funeral was yesterday for all those who passed and for our king⦠I stare at the engravings on the tombstone. āHERE LIES THE BODY OF A JUST KING, A LOVING FATHER, AND A RESPECTED ALLY. SUPREME ALPHA AMBROSE VILKASā Father⦠Four days have passed since our return and there is a lot to do and a lot that we have already done, but we all needed time to mourn those we have lost. We have suffered, and we have all lost someone that we loved. They will not be easily forgotten. I crouch down before the tombstone and look at the flowers that adorn the ground around the grave. Father⦠I wish I could have told you this when you were alive, but⦠I want you to know that I appreciated everything you did for me. For the trust, you kept in me. Thank you for treating me as a person and not as a monster⦠I love you, Father⦠I close my eyes as I allow my sorrow to wash through me. I lower my head, Maryk
